The video is slightly weird buffer-wise, but check it out! Amazing! Never knew that lightning worked that way!

I saw lightning in slow-mo on TV years ago, but not as high quality as this. It's quite amazing.

Yeah, it's basically "searching" for the nearest and quickest grounding point.
Looks pretty cool.
The weird thing is, it looks like lightning ALWAYS strikes twice; th initial one doesn't really know where it's going, but it obviously ionised the air - and probably turns it into a plasma. Then a split-second later, boom, you get one big bolt, right to the ground

This I have to say is the best kind of lightning.
